but if you don't raise them to be literally game palying machines how will you get that sweet reputation for being the best in the world?

Good news is that if Life can't play in tournaments anymore he might become a full time streamer not on afreeca tho and I doubt he'd have enough apologists to help him get a sub button on twitch, so where is he going to make the money from streaming? tbh i dont think he'll really want to stream, but maybe that's just how i would feel were i in his position savior streamed as well till last year. I guess afreeca doesn't allow it anymore?
he deleted his account last august and after that KeSPA demanded afreeca to ban all matchfixers from streaming on their platfrom, they refused at first but then after public outcry they changed their mind.
also whats the point in streaming SC2 on afreeca, you'd get less viewers than Rush has atm

I see. Yeah sure not saying Life streaming sc2 would have been a good idea.
It's too bad, LOTV would need another zerg star, even if Dark tries to become it -.-

So this got front-page, huh?
So sad..

So sad for Life, such a talent lost 
This shit must be stopped ruthlessly.

Anyone know what the likely punishment will be, aside from a progamer license ban?

The Prime fixers got 3 years probation and fines

Life got a suspended jail sentence and a hefty fine, nothing for Bbyong yet.

According to an earlier post in the thread he got 18 months of suspended jailtime (basically probation) and a fine equal to the money he earned from matchfixing.

Thats right, wax confirmed, he is official guilty, he is already punished with 18 month jailtime on a 3 year probation and 70.000.000 won fine.

The perverse lesson from this is if you gonna bet, safer to bet on the Korean scene than foreigners. You know the Korean authorities take this shite at least semi-seriously, shown by actual arrests and convictions. Where are the foreigner ones?
Further, I think Life is an exemption rather than the rule. Usually match-fixers don't go after the very best player, they may go after tier 1 people but usually not the best of the best. Second, I think the normal person vulnerable is lower tiers because the lure of money is harder to resist. In short, I think as SC2 declines, and with it viewership and money from tournaments, we may get more match-fixing. Sad.

who is the 1 individual "at large" ?
i have an idea for a new movie... "The Fugitive Progamer"
its too bad Harrison Ford is way too old to play the part.

this is a pessimistic viewpoint but its also probably right.

Once again, I am just so glad that Life wasn't awarded the #1 GOAT by Stuchiu, but would have to win a tiny bit more to steal the spot.
This will obviously never happen

there was no chance of life ever being #1 with me around. none.

If I was Life, I would leave Korea (it's a small country where everyone knows each other pretty much in Seoul), and move to Europe or something to start my life over. Well..maybe he would run into people who knows him in Europe, thanks to European fans via TL lol.

Stuchius list was made before life made the blizzcon finals.
He's probably #1 GOAT now. Not for stuchio of course but I think most people would rate life's achievements higher than mvp's

This is the first time I heard Bbyong's name (maybe I missed an article earlier).

I hope someone edits Life into a court room scene of Saul Goodman defending kids for doing dumb stuff.
